A small warehouse handling 500 SKUs doesn’t need a £50,000 WMS. But they do need to know what’s in stock, where it is, and what needs reordering.
The Spreadsheet Problem
Stock levels in a spreadsheet are only accurate when updated. Between updates, items are picked and received — and the spreadsheet falls behind.
What a Custom Stock System Does
- Live stock levels: Updated in real time as goods are received and despatched.
- Location tracking: Which bay, shelf, or zone holds each product.
- Reorder alerts: Stock below minimum threshold gets flagged.
- Pick lists: Generated for orders with locations, reducing search time.
Enterprise WMS solutions cost thousands per year. A custom Flask application handles a small warehouse at a one-time cost, accessible from any device.
